A sculpture that captures the essence of Val Gardena, where craftsmanship merges with the intrinsic beauty of the raw material. This stylized owl is a masterpiece of formal purity.
Represented frontally in a static and contemplative pose, its essential form is enhanced solely by the natural grain of the wood. Observe the hypnotic effect of the eyes: two circular relief discs where concentric grains create an unexpected sense of depth. The beak is reduced to a simple V-shaped incision, maintaining a neutral and fixed expression, typical of contemplative art.
Masterfully crafted in adherence to alpine sculptural traditions, this 9 cm statue is carved entirely from maple wood, known for its fine grain and excellent workability. The finish is left completely natural, smooth and polished, enhancing the warm and clear texture of the solid wood. A piece of furniture that celebrates minimalist elegance and the authenticity of hand carving.
